method now being adopted for the
prosecution of this object was new
to them, but it had been found the
best elsewhere. They were carry
ing out the principles enunciated at
the great meeting of June 30th.
During the past few weeks they
had had sample of improved gov
eminent. This was the result OF
that meeting and new Constitu-
ton. This could not have been ac-
complished under the old Constitu-
ton. That document was framed
for the centralising Of power, and
for 20 years no real, liberal amend
ment had been made to 1t. Various
attempts were made and frustrated.
Heroic measures were necessary,
and those measures were adopted,
which. all sensible people would
endorse.
Mr.. f. Turrill said that as a
young member of the party, he was
proud to be in the first convention.
Hitherto under the old Constitution,
the idea was that the country be-
longed to the office. holders. The
people had to open their money
bags, and the ofiice-holders spent
the money. The people at length
rose in their might, and when the
people rise in their might they sell
dom make q mistake. There was
no machine politics about it. They
say 1--WE will and must and shall
have good and clean government in
Hawaii. In order to carry out this
purpose dissensions must be avoid
ed and everybody must be united
on the great principle. Speaking
for himself, he would say that he
would vote against his best friend if
he believed him the wrong person,
and for his worst enemy if he be-
lieved him to be the right person.
He counselled the dropping of diff
ferences, and union on the funda-
mental principle. Some people
talked of others disparagingly as
being new corners, which he OBJ
jected to, and hoped that such little
matters would be sunk in deter
mination to pull together for good
government.
The Committee on Credentials
here returned and reported the Gre
dentials all in order except three
those of j. L. Dowsett, Jr., DR..
Tucker, and M. A. Gonzalves.
These gentlemen had simply left
their credentials at home through
forgetfulness.
1t was unanimously resolved that
the three be forthwith considered
members of the Convention.
The Secretary then read the roll
call of the Convention, and every
member published in this paper yes
terday answered to his name. Mr..
NJ. Rose, from Kaneohe, was added

an absence of a few minutes, re-
turned and the Chairman, M. p.
Robinson, announced that the COM
mittee recommend that the temporary
officers of the convention, including
the interpreter, W. L. Wilcox, be
made permanent.
On motion of Mr.. Dole the report
of the committee was adopted.
w. G. Wilder again thanked the
convention for appointing him per-
manent chairman. He was not
going to take up any time in making
remarks, as there was great deal
of business to be done, and they
would have to expedite matters as
much as possible. The next order
of business, he said, was the ap-
pointment of committee on Rules
and one on Resolutions.
